Friday March 20, 2026
7:00 PM

On March 20, 2026, at 7:00 pm, the webinar will bring together nationally respected voices to explore the connection between soil health, food quality, and human health. Featured speakers include David Montgomery and Anne Biklé, authors of What Your Food Ate, alongside Dr. Ron Weiss, who will discuss how whole-food diets can help prevent and treat chronic illness.

David and Anne will draw from their latest book What Your Food Ate as well as their others to present the connections between soil health and human health. They'll share the science underpinning soil health in gardening and farming and how it influences crops, livestock, and ultimately the human diet and human health. It turns out that what’s good for the land is good for us too.

Dr. Weiss will explore why a nontoxic, nutrient-dense, locally and conscientiously grown diet matters for both human and planetary health, and share the story behind the creation of Ethos Farm as a living model of farm-based healthcare.
